The squad system sucks, sucks worst that the last system. Now, instead of complaining about a squad that's not full, I'm complaining about being squad leader of nobody.
Occasionally a person or two will join the squad and I think, awesome, an orbital is in the cards. Except these blue dots go 0-6 and possibly manage 100 war points each.
I often get around 2000 war points myself, and to be short changed by terrible blue dots is a kick in the pants. Then I try to be thankful that they even knew enough to join a squad. But only after I begged/ instructed them to join a squad.
Well, you need to go find people to play with. Don't rely on random blue-dots. Find friends, cruise the Local chat, join a corp. But you need to put some effort in here.

And to be honest, I'm antisocial in real life, so I don't know how to climb the corp ladder over a microphone. My problem I guess.
My point is I don't want to join one if I don't have to. Hopefully CCP will offer individual merc contracts in the future.
You join 2 corps and decide that all are the same. Yeah...it doesn't work that way. Make one yourself or do some actual research before joining. Not all corps are there to just be the best, not all have politics. Some just want to play the game.
You don't have to join corps if you don't want to...but you have to deal with Blue-Dots then, and you are nothing but a Blue-Dot to everyone else. Accept the consequences of your actions. Corps are the focus in the game, not the randoms.

They fiend the red line like they are so thirsty for blood and camp cru's like that is fun or fair. They will pull out two tanks and a drop ship in a random pub match with a victory in the bag, which, I guess isn't terrible, but I still hate them for it.
So...you're saying people are bad for...trying to win the game? Have you ever played a shooter before Dust, especially MAG?
Vanda-Kon wrote:Funny thing is, if they are not in their corp squad, they don't try during games and sometimes even quit. Catching them alone is ten times different. Suddenly, their invincible magic is greatly reduced. I sometimes wonder if its the same person.
First, many people play much, much better when they have support and are playing with those who compliment themselves. Having someone you can trust to watch your back can make a world of difference. And yes, there are also a lot of people who don't try as hard when soloing, because Blue-Dots suck 90% of the time

I've seen corp squads get three in a match while I'm can't even eek out one.
I'd understand if I got a lot of grief for this thread. The blue dots that don't join squads probably don't read the forums either.
Vent over.
Hmm...because the way to get orbitals is to have your squad get a lot of War Points, it makes sense that squads that work well and earn a lot of WP get more strikes...solo players will NOT get orbitals as often, if at all. Its a squad effort, not a solo effort.
It is mostly your own fault. You choose to solo, so you have to deal with all the crap that comes with it. |
